Diffusion of Pollution in Ecosystems
Description
The aim of the study subject is to provide knowledge about pollution processes in ecosystems and their assessment methods, as well as methods of pollut ion control and reduction, system principles, its limits and peculiarities of material movement in space. After listening to this subject, students will be able to assess pollution reactions, analyze and evaluate the impact of human activities on ecosystems, predict the extent of pollution, and mitigation measures.
Aim of the course
The aim of the study subject is to form a knowledge system and abilities to make pollution control process management decisions in ecosystems.
Prerequisites
Mathematics, General Chemistry, Environmental Assessment
